Hi All!

Well, some of you may have been aware of my initial project/offering to the romance community, literalseduction.com.  While I believe this project to be a success, I admit that it drained on my time.  So, I went searching for a way to automate the process, so that I don’t have to be as intimately involved with setting authors up for space.  Enter, literalseduction.net.  Now, authors can sign-up and be automatically granted access to their host space and setting up their website.  There’s a control panel, add-on domains, subdomains, instant installation of many popular scripts (wordpress included) and much more.  All for free.  There will be a small text link type ad at the bottom of each page simply proclaiming that the site is hosted by literalseduction.net and partnered with my design co, LS Designs.net.  That’s it!

So, literalseduction.net is my first offering, but I’m planning another free host site and I need your help:

Because I do.  That expression on the half-nekkid woman’s face…. the “uh oh” look…. That is so me. 

Now that I’ve got a few books under my belt, I finally figured out my voice and what my writing is all about.  The tagline says it all folks.  Like curvy, quirky women that have mad hot sex?  It’s all me baby.  Well, not me personally, but my characters.  You know what I mean. 

So, do you love the new look?  Hate it?  Make you feel all ’70’s porn’?  (bow chicka bow bow…)

It didn’t work yesterday.  So, I’ve updated the subscription box code again and now we’ll see if it works today.  Cross your fingers!  Hope everyone had a fantabulous weekend!  I managed to get a smidge of writing done, but not enough to satisfy me of course.  I’m working on book two in the Jaguar Pride series and I’m hoping to have 10k words by this weekend.  Yeah, I know, I shouldn’t put deadlines on myself as it could hinder rather than help the creative process, but I can’t help it.  I’m a deadline driven individual.  Tell me I have as much time as it takes, and it’ll take forever.  Tell me you need it yesterday….you’ll have it in five minutes. 

Have a great day all!

Celia

PS.  Booyah!  It worked!  Feel free to subscribe via the R-mail box in the sidebar cause you’ll definitely get updates emailed to you within an hour or two of me posting.  What could be better? 

Yep, this is a test.  Had this been an actual post, the words you are reading might have held some meaning or message.  Aw…who am I kidding?  All I ever do is write meaningless babble.  Seriously folks.  This post is here to see how well R-mail will work.  I’ve put a new subscription box on this page for those of you that would like updates emailed to you as opposed to actually coming to my site.  I switched to R-mail because, well, they’re better.  I’ve got several subscriptions to other sites through them and I usually have updates in my inbox within a couple of hours as opposed to Feedblitz’s 24 hours.  When I realized it was taking Feedblitz that long to email out new posts, I knew I needed to find a better subscription service….so I did.  And what’s better?  It’s free!!!!!!  Woot!!!!!  So, with this post, we’ll see how good it actually is…   *fingers crossed that I’ll have this post in my inbox soon*

Not only Blogger, but Wordpress as well!  I successfully ported my blogger Sinful Little Secrets template to Wordpress.  Check out the results here.  What’s the you say???  It looks the same as it did on blogger?  No shit Sherlock!  That’s the point!  Mwhahahahahaha!   The template was designed by Lunastone Designs, but I didn’t feel like paying to have her port the site into Wordpress.  So, why shouldn’t I try my hand at it?  I did, and it worked!!!!   Happy Dance!!!  Whew!  The blogger versions of my two blogs will stay up indefinitely with a post redirecting everybody here and amazingly enough I was able to import my blog posts into Wordpress easily, so no content was lost.  And now I am no longer at blogger’s mercy when it doesn’t want to upload piccy’s!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Celia

Hey Guys and Gals!  Welcome to my blog now hosted on my site.  Operative words in that sentence…my.  I was so tired of blogger deciding to crap out on me for no good reason that I’ve moved my daily ramblings to my own site.  There are no immediate plans to move my story blog over as it would take work to reformat the layout for Wordpress and after futzing with this one, I’m feeling lazy.  :D  So….whatcha think?  I kinda like it here…  It’s a little more me!  Yummy purples and brown.  It makes me feel warm and fuzzy and reminds me of chocolate.  Mmmmm…..

So, what am I working on…  Shara has my story Wicked Shift that she’s looking over and providing a crit for.  She’s said she enjoys the story, but there are some things that may be missing.  As soon as she gets it back to me I’ll be adding in yummy stuff and I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be able to submit it to a publisher by the end of the year.  I’m going to start writing book 2 in the series tonight if all goes well.  Training a newbie at work has been stealing all of my creative juices lately, but a quick chat with Shara this afternoon got them flowing again.  (Minds out of the gutter people!)

What else is going on???  Oh!  Boobs are feeling better!  Thanks for all of the well wishes and soft cyber hugs I received.  Mr. Celia is still being all gropey.  Do men not realize that they’ll get a heck of a lot further with a woman if he is tender and loving as opposed to all grrrr…. all the time.  I admit…I like a little rough and tumble every now and again, but if my boobs are sore, you will get a hell of a lot further if you’re soft and tender.  Tender dammit, tender!!!  Blahhh!  Whatever.  He’s not getting any until he looks up the word in the dictionary.  So there.

Have a great day!

Celia

PS.  Is anyone else in shock over the fact that today is November 1st?  Damn.  XXX-mas is around the corner…

Two things to talk about today.

1) I suck b/c I left my thumb drive (its name is Pony) at home. Do you know how much that sucks? How can I goof at work without all the files I need to goof with? Damn. I can’t.

2) I’ve got emoticons on my bloggggggg!!!!!! B-)

Ok, I’m typing this and the piccy for the emoticon didn’t come up. Let’s hope it works when I post this message. If not….I guess I’m not cool.

Celia

PS. I AM the Mistress of Blogger!!!!!!! Ooh! I like the sound of that. I need to go out and get a leather corset and a whip. With thigh high boots. *shiver* That sounds so hot!

Do you see it? Look a little further up the screen and you can’t miss it. What is it? My blog banner of course! A great big neaner to blogger cause I figured out how to get the darn thing up there instead of the standard words. *happy dance, happy dance*

Oh, and here’s a fun pic just for stopping by. I’d like to take a bite out of that man’s tush, wouldn’t you?

Celia

I feel like I’m in a little bit of a competition with blogger now. Everytime I change something or work around what was given to users by blogger I feel like doing a happy dance and sticking my tongue out at the computer. Mature, I know. Today’s accomplishment is changing the font. Now, that seems easy enough and in reality it is, unless you want to change the title and post content font. That’s where it gets tricky. I couldn’t actually find any coding that dictated the font for the title or posts. So what did I do? I insterted a line. So a great big Ha! and Neaner! to blogger cause I figured it out and now my blogger font and my website fonts match! *happy dance, happy dance* Pftttttttttt at you blogger!

Words managed to show up last night so I didn’t play much. I got another 1500 on Good Dom and it seems like my character, Jess, has finally worked past her issues and we’ll be getting down and dirty soon. Can’t wait! Best part about writing erotic romance, writing sex! Anyone that tells you it doesn’t turn you on while their writing it….lied! So, here’s a little piccy to get you in the mood. This book is m/f hence the lack of YML. If I’d had this blog during Good Woman you’d be seeing a lot more of the man on man pics, but *sigh* you’ll just have to wait on more of those for now.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll be getting Good Woman back from my amazing friends Shara and Jan soon. Though I do have the teensiest bit of fear. I know they like the story, it’s all the grammar and head hopping that occurred that I’m worried about. Not much I can do now though, I’ll just have to fix it when it comes back.

Have a wonderful day all and as Paz says, Happy Writing!

Celia

Yep, Brown! Why Brown? Go check out my website and you’ll see why. *smile* Remember the other night when I bought a website when the words wouldn’t come? Well, I couldn’t write last night. So mosey over to www.celiakyle.com to see the new and improved layout and let me know what you think. If you don’t feel like checking it out now, that’s ok. Stay and drool over the yummy pic instead.

Celia

Once again blogger hated my pic…

*Drum Roll Please*

Ok, today’s post has two topics. (Who knew I’d have TWO things to talk about today?) First, my new website complete with my very own web address is now up and running. Woo Hoo! I’ve updated the link on the right, but just in case you want to check it out yourself:

Look mom, No Ads!

*Kids In China*

I’m amazed by the children in China. Why you ask? I’ve been playing with blog templates recently. Doing my best to set up a blog for my serial story to be presented on once I’ve got a good bit of it written. (If you want to take a look at it in its current state you can click the link to the right that says Celia Kyle’s Sinful Little Secrets or you can click HERE. Yes, I know its dark, but I can’t do anything about that yet. Currently consulting the 16yr old I refer to as “The Singapore Kid” Like Billy the kid with computers.)

What does setting up my blog template have to do with kids in China? They create the wonderful templates I’m finding, of course. Yep, you heard right. Some of the coolest blog templates I’ve ever seen are made by 15 year old kids in China. China! (Well mine is made by a kid in Singapore, but you know what I mean.) Ok, I can get over the fact that there are some amazingly intelligent kids in the world, but if you go to Blogskins you’ll notice that they have an ENTIRE community of them.

So, here I am, template in place and I want some customization done on it. I’m willing to pay to have it done of course, but do you know what I have to do? Email a 16 yr old in Singapore for help. I’m 26 years old and I’m getting help from a 16 yr old in Singapore. Makes ya feel dumb, doesn’t it? I feel about thisbig (imagine my thumb and forefinger reallly close together) having to ask a kid for help.

Well, if you’d like to download some cool “skins” as the kids call them, here are a few links to help you along:

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to finish my grovelling to Wang so that he’ll help me out. I’m grovelling to a kid. *Hangs head in shame*

Celia

PS. Are you a kid in China that knows amazing amounts of stuff about coding HTML? Let me know. Hey even if you’re a kid from some other country I could use the help.

And see that I’ve added a Feedblitz box! It’s one of THE coolest things ever. If you enter your email in the box and follow the directions you’ll get an email with my blog entry everytime I come on here and blab. Now to avoid confusion…The pretty purple box is for newsletter type stuff only. (In all actuality, I don’t have too much to fill a newsletter with so you’d be safe to sign up for it since it’ll be a while before you actually hear from me.) Now. The box below it…That’s the service that’ll get my lovely blog writings delivered to your inboxes whenever I can’t shut up. So, sign up already! Getting me automatically delivered to your inboxes everyday couldn’t be easier!

And for those of you that stop by to see what yummy pic I post…well you’ll get those too.
